I am now wondering who will set up their booth in this spot in the church yard. Has anyone bagsed it?

Firstly he'd enjoy it.But he is surely the most loyal May Fayre supporter. Has he ever missed one? And he always performs. He always delivers a reliable slick and entertaining show. And while most of us tend to gather in our cliques I have noticed that if there is a visitor or a newcomer Geoff is the one to greet them and introduce them around.

Also Geoff supports the May Fayre by his generosity with his flat and offers of accomodation. How many of us would give up our floor space, bed and bathroom to a bevy of camping punchmen year after year? This has enabled not a few profs to perform who would have been unable to do so otherwise.
